In a few words ...
Château de Villemajou Grand Vin is the result of an encounter between the exceptional Boutenac terroir, original grape varieties and the winemaker's expertise. The remarkable quality of this cuvée lies in the exceptional quality of the grapes. The estate's vines are 80 years old for the Carignan and 30 years old for the Syrah. The grapes are harvested by hand and aged in barrels for 10 to 12 months.

A fine discovery, a powerful Syrah with a long finish, a wine of great quality that can still wait to reveal its full potential.

Spicy notes, licorice and toast mingle with jammy fruit. Good body, round on the palate, mellow tannins, good length, aromatic finish.

Another fine wine from Gérard Bertrand. Powerful yet fine, with lovely ripe, fruity aromas and hints of cocoa. Tannins present and assertive. Well-balanced.

Tested wine. To be cellared for a few more years or oxygenated the day before. Very good, but not yet at its peak.
